sustainability

Our AFO fabric is composed of 88% recycled polyester. We use high-grade recycled polyester made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic like rPET (a form of recyclable plastic commonly found in single-use bottles and containers) to reduce the impact of our apparel without sacrificing on performance, durability or comfort.

AFO fabric is also bluesign® certified meaning it is free from harmful chemicals and is fabricated in a way that meets a high environmental standard.

Love these shorts!

Very light and comfortable to wear while running. I also love the length, feel of the material, and how fast it dries after running. I now have 5 of them and will be purchasing more soon...

Replacement shorts

I bought a pair of the W's 3" AFO Middle Short, and they developed a manufacture-related defect. I sent an email to the company, and replaced the shorts, which gives me one more reason to keep running in Janji. I have five or six pairs of these short--current and past models--and I love them. They're the perfect weight and (generally!) hold up really well to long runs and multiple wears over years.
